SHA identifies Scattered-Sites to sell 

Seattle Housing continues to adjust the mix of housing in its Scattered-Sites portfolio in order to run the program more cost effectively and to provide housing better suited to residents’ needs. After evaluation, Seattle Housing has identified 125 units in 94 properties to sell in the second phase of the Scattered-Sites portfolio realignment.

Phase I is almost complete and sales have begun on the phase II properties. For details on the properties being offered at this time and their listing agents, follow this link. Public housing residents of those properties have all been moved to other Scattered-Sites or other SHA properties.

Forty-four replacement units have been purchased so far. Six of these are in the recently-acquired building on Greenwood Ave. in North Seattle. Others are in buildings ranging from three to 24 units. Seattle Housing is actively looking and evaluating other properties with the desired bedroom mixes and accessibility. For more information about Seattle Housing's replacement housing standards follow this link.

SHA will strive to replace Scattered-Sites housing in small batches, as units are sold, so that the total number of units available remains relatively stable. The Housing Authority will seek out new locations near transit, with easy access to shopping, parks, schools and neighborhood services that meet the needs of low-income residents.

SHA will make sure that the housing needs of residents living in the housing that is sold will continue to be met. The Housing Authority will assist them with moving to other scattered sites or to other SHA housing. If possible, moves will be scheduled at a time that is least disruptive to them.
